Hi Chris, <br />
Do you include any book reviews in your Beckett Baseball magazine? I've recently read a new book written about Harry Kalas by Randy Miller. If you are either a Phillies or Harry fan this is a must read. Although most baseball fans will enjoy too. It contains great stories of his legendary life. <br />
If interested, I can.put you in touch with the author.<br />
Thanks

Found this #115 of 150 Topps 2007 Co-signers Vernon Wells/Alex Rios error card. It says Brett Myers on the top and Wells on the bottom. Did not see it listed on the site. What do you think?<br />

Chris:I'm going to try this one more time ! This has been an exercise in futillity for me at times . My knowledge of computer navigation is lacking to say the less. My Q is this . I have 3 signed baseball's that have issues I'm curious about . Steve Garvey ball signed at Allstar game in San Diego is a ball purchased at the game and only has the word allstar on it with 2 stars . He signed it in person . 2nd ball Signed by Ichiro at allstar game in Seattle . I was in Ca. and my wife could only find plain baseball to take to the game . Newspaper photo even appears to be showing my then 3 yr. old daughter handing him the ball while atop mom's shoulders . Third ball is signed by Nolan Ryan . Official AL ball that appears to be game used or at least mud rubbed . Bobby Brown is the Commisioner on the ball . Have no idea what era . Ball was passed down to me from wifes family in TX's and no one knows it's origin or history . Can these baseball's be authenticated and is it worth bothering with . Thank you

There are numerous 3rd-party autograph authenticators out there like JSA and PSA/DNA, costs vary from company to company and from player to player. In my opinion, if you plan on keeping those items for yourself then there is no reason to authenticate, because they're yours and, other than the Ryan, you know they're legit. They might be worth authenticating if you plan to sell them, just depends on how much authenticated signatures of those guys sell for in relation to how much it would cost you to have them authenticated. I'm not Chris Olds, but hope that helps
